In this 'information generation' that we live in, it's still amazing to me that anyone at all would go out in the sun specifically to tan/burn or actually pay to ingest tanning rays in a tanning bed. It just seems weird! We all know that even moderate exposure to UVA and UVB rays can cause skin cancer. And even if one doesn't end up with a fatal case of melanoma, the little scars you could end up with all over your body from having suspicious moles removed is pretty stressful. Wrinkly or splotchy skin follow in the delightful side effects category as well.

But don't get me wrong. I love a bronze body now and then too. I'm just not willing to suffer the consequences of achieving it the old-fashioned way. If you haven't tried sunless tanning lotions or spray tanning booths, give them a shot. Even if you have tried them before and weren't satisfied, go back and try some different varieties. They've come along way since the days when sunless tanning left orange stinky skin. I prefer Mystic Tanning, which allows me to stand in the buff all alone and achieve a completely bronze body with no funny lines. None! No one else has to 'do my back' and the process takes a total of 25 seconds. It's great!

There are many other options though. Sunless tanning products are available in every drug store, grocery store, and upscale department store. Some are cheap, some are expensive, but all of them are well worth the price. Just imagine how much chemotherapy would cost you!

And as your online fitness trainer, I certainly would rather you spend an hour exercising than lying lazily in a chair trying to 'look good'. If you're trying to look good, think big picture. The picture of health does not include crispy skin. Spend 55 minutes in the gym and the other five spraying on that tan. You'll look and feel great both today and tomorrow!
